The disturbing timeline of how CBS News handled Tony Dokoupil’s interview with an antisemitic author is a small snapshot into the soul of the company. Instead of rewarding the guy for pressing Ta-Nehisi Coates on a deeply distorted view of the Middle East, network executives claimed Dokoupil failed to meet the editorial standards of the company and forced him to participate in a struggle session.
Less than two months ago, the senior Director of Standards and Practices at CBS told employees to not reference Jersusalem as being in Israel. “Yes, the U.S. embassy is there and the Trump administration recognized it as being Israel’s capital. But its status is disputed. The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Lastly, this is the network that repeatedly fact-checked JD Vance at the Vice Presidential debate after formally agreeing not to. If you choose to watch CBS News, you are choosing to support agenda-driven anti-semites who are doubling down on the legacy of Dan Rather.
